sometimes depend on driver, since for example the hpdj driver
defaults to b/w printing.

Generally spoken:
a) check gs source, whoch driver allow/needs what options and check
   with apsfilter script, if the defaults are o.k.
   Its not that difficult
b) use apsfilter with correct commandline options
   lpr -C high:present:cmyk file.ps

Sometimes printing in color is a little 'black art' since
some drivers need at least 600dpi and presentation quality
prior printing in color.

Sometimes apsfilter succeeds in helping user to hide this
driver complexity behind some easy to guess commands like
	lpr -C high:presentation:cmyk file.ps

But sometimes you have to RTFM .. (read the fine manual)...

And PLEASE remember: apsfilter questions
-> please to the mailinglists ...

I hate to give people individual extra support, because this mail
traffic isn't archived in the mailing lists, so nobody other learns
from other peoples questions and answers ...

And currently I don't have time to do support alone, I need the
help of other kind people.

Thank you
